I do find it a challenge to scrap my farm pics........they don't exactly lend themselves to the rainbow colours I love to use on my girly layouts!

For these latest ones, I've stuck to naturals, blues and greens (what I call "outdoorsy" colours) and used simple embellishments.........

The first two designs are based on Step-by-step challenges over at Scrapwitch:

In "Top Sellers" I photocopied the Vendor Report from the saleyard onto the 7 Gypsies pp - so no need to journal! We were very proud of these beautiful boys we bred ourselves, and even got a mention in the stock report section of the local paper!

I stole some of the ideas in "Home" from a fave scrapper of mine, C.D. Muckosky. Makes our little old house on the hill look half decent!

How silly! I spent ages trying to come up with a name for my blog.
Scissors, paper...pen
"Scissors paper rock" is a familiar chant around this house. The girls love to play it, even 3 year old (Mia) knows it well - OK, so she cheats a little....
I substituted rock for "pen" - the name my friends call me, and my most fave scrapping tool in the world!!! I love my doodling!!!
Scissors and paper - add them, and you have my three essentials for creating a scrapbook page. I love product as much as the next scrapper, but I reckon I'm at my most creative when I restrict myself to these 3 basics. Give it a go sometime!

Hooray! Here I am! I've finally joined the world of blog! Have no idea what I'm doing, mind you.........so please bear with me while I'm on my L's.
It's taken me a while to go ahead and start up my blog. Why?
One: I'm already so busy with the farm, running around after the girls, and occasionally actual scrapping.
Two: My darling hubby thinks I already spend WAY too much time on the computer.
Three: I wonder if I really have anything interesting to say!!!
But here I am anyway! Let's be straight about one thing though - you won't be seeing every little boring detail about my life on here. I want my blog to be dedicated to my craft, my art, my passion, my addiction that is SCRAPBOOKING.
I'm here to share my scrapbooking journey with you - my layouts, my ideas, my creativity and my art - to inform and inspire others and to grow and challenge myself. Enjoy!
